BE SURE TO STATE THE SIZE. 35% Refused to Vot e Despite Intimidation and Checkup at Polling Booths By a Textile Worker Correspondent NASHVILLE, Tenn.—-Recently an election of representatives to the DuPont Works Council (company union) was conducted here. The can‘ldates chosen, in number, are eif adies or servile flatterers of these irelings. ‘Ihe foremen and fore ies ir ney should choose so-and-so as heir candidate. In the final elec- ion, polling booths were set up. At hese places a ledger with the names of the workers was available to the foremen who were put in charge of conducting election pro- ceedings at this point. When a worker approached to cast his or her vote, he was recorded as having ‘voted. The primary ob- ject of this election was not the choice of suitable representatives. but rather, a check-up to see who was opposed to such unionism The methods used to induce the workers to vote ranged from in- ome Business Man in Indianapolis Tells By An Indianapolis Business Man INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—I with interest your columns of “Worker Correspondence.” It has occurred to me that some interest- ing correspondence might be pub- lished from the small business who have become aware that the only solution to the pres- ent crisis lies in an affiliation with the vanguard of the workers. The writer himself has the fol- reag lowing to report concerning the Real Silk Hosiery strike in India- napolis: Armed thugs have been imported to Indianapolis from the gangster elements of Chicago and Pittsburgh and are riding the streets of Indianapolis flouting the so- called laws and intimidating strik- ers and sympathizers who happen to be anywhere in the vicinity of the Real Silk Hosiery Mills. Recently a salesman, a bi man and a worker, all three of whom are not in the least connected with the strike, were accosted and roughly handled by these thugs in the presence of Indianapolis police. | The police were called upon for as- | the first week in August sistance, but failed to respond. It might be interesting to observe that J. and L. Goodman, the heads of the Real Silk Hosiery Mills, are some of the so-called “liberal lead- ers” in the city of Indianapolis. EDITORIAL NOTE: The Daily Worker is glad to publish letters from middle class people, who, as you correctly point out, have ree- ognized that the only way out for them is to throw in their lot with the workers for joint struggle against the common suppressor and exploiter: monopoly capital and its government. 7oth Anniversary Finds Evictions Going on in Emaus By a Worker Correspondent EMAUS, Pa—Emaus, this year, to celebrate the 75th anniver the town, the Diamond they call it. Emaus was first set- tled by the old Moravians. It’s a/ small town of nearly 7,000 popula- | tion’with quite a few churches and some industries. The chief indus- tries are silk and the Donaldson Iron Works, makers of iron pipes. We just wonder what the fathers | of the town are going to brag about. | | There are over 400 unemployed in the town; low wages in the silk | mills and high prices in the stores. | Emaus, to buy.

On pay day they have from 4 per cent to 16 per cent | deducted from their pay for scrap, | even though the scrap was no fault | of their own. Quite a few of them are ready to organize to fight that robber system. A few weeks ago there was an} eviction here in this so-called re-| 30} r foremen, fore-| urting the workers ‘nat| siness | Jubilee, | | Forward, both of which did their timidation to threats of “You may lose your job if you don’t vote.” In many departments the workers were simply told to vote for this or that person; if you don't vote, the com- pany will send someone to ask you why you are not voting, they were told. In talking to some of the Negro workers, it was disclosed that they were not even informed about this so-called election Despite this intimidation, the final reports on this election show that some 1,500 workers, representing about 35 per cent of the total em-) ployed, refused to vote, going on record as being opposed to this form of unionism. Still worse, copies of the Daily Worker have been reported found in Old Hickory. A sentiment for an increase of wages has almosi | spontaneously become the topic of discussion. Suddenly, without any announce- ment, the much-agitated-for for the rooms of the mens’ and womens’ dormitories are being sup- plied. May 8th, the company an- nounces that from this day on, the wages are being revised upwards. The local press heralds it as a 10 per cent increase in wages for Du Pont’s Old Hickory employees. If we examine this increase more thoroughly, we will see just what it amounts to. Prior to this so-called wage increase, the company was for the past few months engaged in a chiseling campaign against the wage rates of the workers. One depart- ment at a time was put under the axe. Under the guise of raising efficiency standards, the spinners, doffers, wrappers and other groups reecived wage cuts amounting to 18 per cent. The reeling room girls and |cellophane female help also have been speeded-up; result, they are forced to work faster for less pay, As for this heralded 10 per cent raise, it amounts to about two and a half cents on thé hour in the maintenance division, while in the production departments it is be- tween four and five cents on the hour; but this applies only if the | workers are able to reach this newly adopted efficiency standard. Very few workers will be able to profit by this raise, as this new standard of efficiency cannot be realized by the vast majority of workers, therefore, not the workers, but the company will profit, as many of the workers, in trying to reach this inhuman standard, will be put- ting out work for which the com- pany never intended to pay. ILG Action Against Dues of Unemployed a. “Cheap Question,” Says Zimmerman By a Needle Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—Sitting in at an executive meeting of Local 22 of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, some time ago, I was able to see how identical the actions of a Lovestone administra- | tion are with that of a Dubinsky or any other bureaucratic A. F. of L. officialdom. The left wingers made several proposals in connection with the} unemployed in our trade. One was} that the incoming executive board} take up a fight for an unemploy- ment insurance fund at the ex-| pense of the employers. The an-}| swer of Zimmerman & Co. was that | the question is being taken up at! the Joint Board. at the Joint Board without mo- bilizing the workers to fight for it | is a tactic that all misleaders re- sort to. They know that to raise a mass sentiment for unemploy- | ment insurance means to place} yourself in a bad position with the employers. And, to put up a stiff] fight against the employers Means a loss of the support of the Social- ist Party and the yellow sheet, the best to get the Lovestoneites elected for the next administration. Another proposal made by the left wingers was that the dues pay- ments for the unemployed be re- duced. To this Zimmerman’s reply was that “this is a cheap issue.” A cheap issue, indeed!

At this meet | ing a few things occurred which are) worth recording. | First we have the subtle propa- | ganda carried on by Manager Perl-| mutter for “piece work.” The cut- ters almost entirely now work on a “week work” basis, but Perlmutter | mentioned a case where they found | ja cutter working on a piece-work/ which the Roosevelt administration Taking questions of this kind up| basis, without saying that he is for|established the N.R.A.: to help the or against the latter. Manager Perl} mutter did mention that that cut- ter made $365 in one week. | Such propaganda must be exposed | fully and the cutters must be warned to put a stop upon this drive to) install ‘“piece-work”; taking heed | from the experience of the opera- tors and pressers who were on “piece-work” to see how such a sys- tem results im increased speed-up, lower wages and antagonisms be- tween workers. Second, we must note the lying insinuations of Manager Perlmutter when he compared the Socialist May Day Parade to the United Front May Day parade. He said that the former represented organ- ized labor, while the latter nothing but slum proletariat. Te lie to this is shown if we simnly show how many members of the LL.G.W.U., including members of Local 10, marched in the United Front May Day parade under their own ban- ners. Finally we must record the reso- lutions which the Administration proposed for the coming convention, while refusing to allow any mem- ber to propose any resolution from | the floor. The outstanding reso- lution was the one proposing that all groups be abolished. The So- cialist Perlmutter defended this re- solution, as a means of protecting free speech and Democracy. The membership voted with an over-| whelming “No!” The Administra- tion, however, put through a “hand vote.” with the results that they railroaded through that resolution, because many members are afraid to openly express their opinion against the Administration, because of the “job control.” Another resolution was one favor- ing a Labor Party. This, of course, is only to stop the direction of the workers towards the Communist Party. . Another resolution was one an- proving the N.R.A. Here too the Ad- ministration carries out the wishes of the capitalist class. Another resolution was one favor- ing the 30-hour week. The Admin- istration, in its resolution, makes no mention of how to carry out the} resolution. The members of the I.L, G.W.U. should force the Admini-- tration to fight for the 30-hour week by carrying on agitation for a gen- eral strike for the °*-hour week | for 36 hours and also for a limited | scale of wages, “This trade consists. of piece- paid for every dozen he or she | |makes. It also consists of season | work. Each season lasts not more | than six weeks, then six weeks slow; | |then again six weeks busy, and so on, all along the four seasons of the | year. ‘Not long ago the union reduced |the workers’ prices on each dozen |to such an extent that even the | fastest worker cannot make $20 a | week, which is the limited scale at present. “The manufacturers, having a fear that by such low prices the | workers will not be able to catch up with the limited scale of wages are, therefore, choosing the fastest workers, and they are also speeding them to such an extent that the slow workers are disregarded en- | tirely; and in spite of the fact that |the slow workers are more skillful and they are producing more qual- |ity than quantity, they are continu- jally being discharged and are also |thrown out of the trade, standing ino chance of getting any work at | jall, even in the future. Now, the {question arises: What is the slow worker to do? “The slow workers live in the |Same economic system, where they | have to meet their expenses by |their earnings. But how in the world will they pay their bills—j rent bills, grocery bills and gas bills, | | when they have no chance of get- | ting any work at all? “Therefore, it is a matter of great. |importance to control the speed as | well as the hours. And as long as there is a piece-working system by | which the manufacturers are not | |hindered from their profits, we |have the morai and juridical rights to demand it from them; that the slow workers should be recognized | and considered as workers. | “In my opinion, which I think is | the voicing of the sentiment of all, | this can be possibly done, if the} NR.A. Administration will agr to the following solution, which is: | that the N.T.A. is to standardize [the amount of work each worker is to produce, and not let the man- | | ufacturers do it. Because they do | not do justice to the workers nor to | the industry when they speed the workers like slaves, causing all | | kinds of disease in the workers, and | also causing over-production and| |competition in the industry. “Of course, it is a very hard prob- | lem, but if the N.R.A. has suc-| ceeded in controlling the hours, there is no reason why the speed |should not be controlled as well. | |The speed-system is a twin sister | |to the long hours, producing the | same evils of over-production in the | industry. “As I mentioned above, that all) this can be possibly done, and it is | only a matter of time and effort. | “And in order that this should | be accomplished well, the first | thing to do is: to establish an in- vestigating committee under the strict control of the N.R.A.” Editorial Note: The writer of this | letter correctly shows how the manufacturers with the help of the A. F. of L. leaders, utilize the N.R.A. | regulation of hours and wages to} increase the speed-up and elimi-| nate those workers from whom they cannot squeeze sufficient profits. And this is just the purpose for bosses increase their profits, at the cost of the workers, under the guise of “regulating working hours and wages.” An “investigating committee un- der the strict control of the N.R.A.” would not help matters because the | only thing the N.R.A. is out to con- | trol and to stop altogether is the | workers’ struggle against bad con- ditions. The only effective way to remedy the conditions described in the above correspondence, is for the rank and file workers to get to- gether and put up an organized fight against speed-up, wage cuts, and firing. They should get in touch with the A. F. of L, Rank and File Committee, 1 Union Square. TO HELP BUILD ©, P. Pensacola, Fla.

Dear Comrade: | In your editorial of May 15, under | the heading, “Who Will Get the! Silver Dollars?” I believe a very} serious blunder was made, and one, | that instead of clarifying the infla- | tionary effects of the Proposed | silver legislation, will cause a great | deal of confusion and misunder- | Standing. The editorial says, in part: Then Roosevelt will be | authori: to buy silver in foreign | markets until the ratio of silver to| gold as backing for the paper money | of the country will be at a ratio of | $75 of gold and $25 of silver for | every $100 of paper money.” Nothing ‘of the kind!

Dollar bills will be printed which will have only this silver as its metal backing. The ratio of 75 to 25 only signifies the amount of silver Roosevelt has the authority to buy. J.B. . * Editorial Reply The distinction made by the com- rade is correct. As written, the edi- torial gives a wrong idea of the technical relation of silver and gold to the U. S. currency. The Daily Worker has, in all its news items and comments on the silver situa- tion, made it previously clear that the new dollars on the silver pur- To Build League and rs Union,” He Says school at Camp Hill; to build the Young Pioneers; to draw up a pro- gram for Naticnal Youth Day, May 30, and to hold mass meetings among the youth in all parts of the Black Belt.

APPLAUDS “DAILY'S” IMPROVEMENT New York City. More improvement in the “Daily!” It is true that there is still not enough interest for the really class- conscious worker, due to the lack of space, as these varied articles need space. But this is as important, as the N. KE, P. was in Russia, where it was necessary to take a back~- ward step in order to contact the masses here by moving forward more unitedly toward Socialism. Because many of the half million of sympathizers of the paper are unemployed or poor farmers, with- out cash relief, they cannot support the’ “Daily.” It is, therefore, best to appeal to the workers’ interests, that heretofore could only be found very little in a capitalistic sheet. Expecting more and more changes in the near future that will give more defenders to our class paper.

Most people do not use the proper discrimination in selecting the place for their vaca- tion, nor the form of recreation that is best suited for them during the summer months. People with bronchial trouble often go to the seashore and are surprised to find that their vacation does not bene- fit them; others, who suffer from heart irregularities, will go to the mountains and find that they are less comfortable than in the city. It is, therefore, a good idea to con- sult the family physician regarding the best place for one’s vacation. Once the location is selected, the next problem is to decide as to the form of sport which is best suited for one’s constitution. Most people work so hard playing tennis, hand- ball, canoeing or swimming, that they return to the city completely or) ANDRE CIBULSKI FESTIVAL and BAZAAR 66 Fast Fourth Street exhausted. For manual workers who work hard enough during the winter months, it is senseless to in- dulge in strenuous physical exer- cises. Hiking or swimming is about as far as they should go. In selecting a hotel, camp, farm or boarding-house, attention should be paid to the sanitary facilities of the place. These include pure water, pasteurized milk, screened windows, and sanitary kitchen and bathroom arrangements. Getting milk “right from the cow” is no insurance against tubercle bacilli and other germs. Nor is a pic- turesque well with the “old oaken bucket” a guarantee that there are no typhoid germs in the water. This is particularly important for those who motor or hike from place to place, putting up for the night wherever darkness finds them. When pitching tents near a romantic brook or languorous stream it is well to boil the water before drink- ing it. Many a vacationist has re- turned from the country, in the fall, with typhoid fever.
